RBI in wait-and-watch mode, no certainty on rate hike: Governor Sanjay Malhotra
Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra stated that an interest rate hike is premature, as inflation hasn't broadly impacted consumer prices. The central bank remains in a 'wait-and-watch' mode, closely monitoring global uncertainties and the monsoon's progress. While acknowledging improved outlooks, risks persist, but India is well-prepared for challenges. The RBI has revised inflation forecasts upwards and growth forecasts downwards for the fiscal year.
